I’m producing a series of graphic-driven videos and now need the characters to move, emote, and interact believably in full 3-D. All storyboards, reference sketches, and voice-over tracks are ready; your role is to turn those materials into polished, realistic character animation that plugs straight into my motion-graphics pipeline. The project centres on realistic movement and facial nuance, so a solid grasp of anatomy, weight, timing, and subtle expression is essential. You may work in Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, or another professional 3-D package—whatever you’re fastest with—as long as the final renders integrate cleanly with Adobe After Effects. Key tasks you’ll handle • Model and refine production-ready character meshes from supplied concept art • Build efficient rigs with full body and facial controls • Animate each shot to match pre-timed voice and storyboard cues • Light, shade, and render passes (beauty, shadow, AO) at 4K, 24 fps Acceptance criteria • Motion feels natural and expressive, with no visible clipping or rig glitches • Renders match the framing and timing locked in the boards • All source files (project files, rigs, textures) are neatly organised and editable Once the first scene is approved we’ll roll into the remaining sequences on the same workflow. If you thrive on realistic character work and enjoy collaborating closely on timing and performance details, this will be a smooth, rewarding partnership.
